Commenting on the passage of the Motor Vehicles (Compulsory Insurance Bill) to remove the effects of the Vnuk judgment from UK law, James Dalton, Director, General Insurance Policy, Association of British Insurers, said:
“Common sense has prevailed and we welcome the Government’s scrapping of this unnecessary and unenforceable requirement.
“Monitoring compliance and enforcement for those using vehicles on private land, as well as establishing the circumstances of any claim, would have been fraught with difficulties and risked increasing fraud which would ultimately end up being paid for by motorists through their insurance premiums.”
